Personal Statement:
This Was Meant To Be Summer of 2003, The Famous TV Show On Disney Channel called "That's So Raven" is on and running. Having a flashback sitting in front of the TV and remembering myself saying "I want to be on TV one day, I want to be a star!". I've always seen myself in the past as the quiet, shy kid with no voice, but have so much potential to do what he puts his mind to. In my lifetime, I will be known for something that I will affect people on.
6 years ago, I was the ultimate "arts" person. I believed that was a way to be known, with my voice and my body, but here was one issue, I had no voice! During my last 3 years of elementary school, my self-esteem began to take a downfall. I guess the constant joking of my size finally took its toll. So I began to fight back with my huge fists. I've always hated fighting but I felt like I needed to due to the fact that I had to defend myself. I knew that it would be time for change, since I was heading to a new middle school, West Bronx Academy for the Future, and the fact that I wanted to make a fresh start and hopefully get back into the arts.
Unfortunately the same happened as if I was in my old school. Without the fighting, my self-esteem never at its apex. I realized that middle school was worst. People picking on me, my appearance, peer pressure, and realizing who my real friends are. I lost all my hope of becoming a “someone” in society. Miraculously, time went by and I began to start building up my self-esteem with the help of a few teachers and making really good friends.
After beginning high school in 2007, I began to prepare myself for what my life is to be. During my second semester of sophomore year, a new program called Lift Every Voice, an arts program in which you can be actor, director, and/or playwright. This was my chance to take a risk and prove to my family and friends that I can be apart of this family called THEATRE!
After two years with Lift Every Voice, I became in love with acting and the theat. The feeling of being on the stage just made me feel that no one was in my way. I could express the way I feel, I could show off my true talent, and I don’t feel as if I don’t have a shadow over me, but a spotlight is shining over me. It gave me the feeling that I can do this in my life. Theatre shot me with the love arrow and had me hooked like a drug. The feeling of being in front of people and entertaining people is indescribable.
Stella Adler once said “Theatre was created to tell people the truth about life and the social situation”. This quotation relates to my well-being of becoming a thespian because I want viewers of theatre to be apart of the climax that I’m in the role of. The art of theatre was something that I wanted at a young age but could not conquer it due to my mental well-being. Now that I am 17, confident, and optimistic as ever, I have faith that I will have a role in the world and be apart of the performing arts community. I have something to offer to your college and that’s dedication, commitment, compassion, hard work, and diversity to your institution. With all my problems passed by and conquered, I believe I have something to give to the people around me.
